RTS with hoard of unit - I had fun

So, this game get all the unit of command & conquer 1 (GDI only, for NOD you need guardian campaign), pack them with voxel graphics, and increase the game cadency that yu can spam several units a minute. That means game are short, and based more on economy so that you can spam more than your opponents. Even if this are concept I usually don't like, here, I don't know why I managed to have fun by playing the solo campaign (forget the story & cinematics of C&C, there is like a one liner). I am not multiplayer guy, so I don't know. always the -recon a bit> build refinery> build more refineries> spam unit chain > see them crushed by the defences > adapt your units to the defences > redo the spam cycle and the extension they have made with orcs & humans, aliens & marines, are also funny, but if you didn't really like the 1st one, it is not gonna change. Anyhow I had fun. But some in-game cinematics would have been funny.

Coffee break populous

The game itself is nice and relaxing, with the longest tutorial ever (30 missions). Then start the real game: flatten and hammer your enemies with storm, volcanoes or whatever you found adequate. However, from a map to a another, the differences are quite small (sometimes earthquake will happen, some power are not available, ...), no increase of difficulty. An average map is about 5 minute to complete. And that is were the game catch right. You should not see this as a full scale game, but more a coffee break game, or "wait that your potatoes are cooked"-game. In this role it is good. However only 3 stars because well, from the 1st to the last level, there are little differences.

Trabbie simulator, not for everyone

Where is the fun here? Quite simple, if you find Eurotruck simulator or the like boring, then this game is not for you. Otherwise, you'll do your road trip were you have memories of changing the tire of your car under the rain in Germany, and then put some gasoline in your car on the Adriatic coast, In some low poly environment. There is not much more, and that's good this way. So, what do you have in this game: - you have a road from city A to city B - you have a (crappy) car which tend to got malfunctions every 2 km - some kind of mechanic system where you change engine, batteries, ... - you have a RNG which make it hard as fuck or easy peasy - you have some goods to deals along the way - bugs, not blocking, but you will have sometimes to reset your last segment - weird music - Ostolgia With less bugs and maybe a bit more content, this could have been GOTY.

8-bit Armies - Guardians Campaign

I didn't needed Galaxy.

On my side I downloaded the games through in my library, under the tab of the original game, like any DLC by other games. Possible that at the time it gets out, it was not there, dunno. By the DLC itself, it is more or less the same as original game, with a new campaign a bit shorter and a new faction (flame tank and stealth tank, in order to increase nostalgia factor). So if you didn't liked the original game, you will likely not like it, otherwise you will appreciate a few more missions and new units.

Short DLC with a bit of lore

If you are not a fan of the franchise, forget it, you will not buy it anyway. Otherwise pick up when it is about 2-3 € and you will have a 8-12 hours content pack with 3 scenarios, with voice acting and entertaining the Spellforce lore (which I find far more deep as what it looks like at first). A bit of solo RPG at start of each and later on base management. My favorite is the golden fool one, because of the ambiance and overall sorry. The Flink McWinter's diary could be fun if you like this antihero NPC, if you finde the guy boring, better to forget it. The Last Stand let you start top tier and with some spare skill points, but is not very deep in story.
